Furfural Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028
An organic substance called
furfural is produced by plants from things like corncobs, oats, wheat bran,
rice husks, bagasse, and sawdust. It is often made from pentosan-rich
agricultural wastes that are hydroyzed to create furfural and its derivatives.
A colourless oil, furfural is only weakly soluble in water but quickly
dissolves in a variety of chemical solvents. It demonstrates features that are
chemically comparable to those of other aldehydes and aromatic compounds. It is
easily hydrogenated to produce derivatives of tetrahydrofurans, which when
heated with acids produce hardened polymers or thermosetting polymers.
One of the main factors
propelling the expansion of the furfural
market is the public's growing preference for renewable energy sources
to replace fossil fuels. Furfural has become an immediate replacement for
chemicals based on furans due to its essential qualities of thermosetting
characteristics, physical strength, and corrosion resistance. It is also a
highly preferred biomass-based chemical because it is made from widely accessible
biomass. Furfuryl alcohol, which is widely utilised in the production of
polymers, textiles, and building materials, is the principal product of
furfural. Agricultural wastes are a plentiful source of raw materials for the
production of furfural in the Asia-Pacific area, particularly in China, India,
Indonesia, and Malaysia.
